I am feeling very overwhelmed with more physical health problems adding to my very long list of physical health problems
And also with my family members mental health problems
And also with my families lack of support and encouragement and communication

You know @Shaz51, I get that so much.
Spent the weekend with my kids, dropped them off this morning, and now I'm sitting on the porch with my laptop and an empty bowl of noodles sitting next to me that I may need to go and refill.
What's your nothing day involve? We talking zoning out kind of nothing or netflix kind of nothing?

@Mr_Be very wise and a very difficult thing to learn. I find it very difficult until I realise that person doesn’t give a shite about how difficult it is for me or what I need.

Sounds alot like my nothing days @Shaz51
Try to take myself for a walk to the beach, youtube videos, maybe clean something at home.
Have an American Bulldog and a Lab x German Shepherd.

@Glisten I get that completely. I find it useful to look at most people as just big toddlers. It hurts when they don't want us anymore. It'd be nice if there was reciprocation and understanding and compassion. But the reality is that most people only have the capacity to think of their own needs. And that's okay, you know? The best revenge is to not be like those who hurt you.
Hope you're doing okay 🙂
